coupons

Through reading the weekly ad carefully, clipping coupons, and my student discount (10% off every Saturday!), I saved $70 off my groceries today. But I look at what I got, and I'm in MAJOR NESTING. OK, when boneless skinless chicken breasts are $1.49/pound on sale, I have to buy three pounds to freeze some! Whole wheat pitas for 79 cents/6 pack - hello! I need to get three! And everything else. Well, I don't have to freeze the toothbrushes, but you get my point. I guess I'm feeling settled - my freezer is full.

And I heart carbs. The delight in buying pears for 59 cents a pound, and whole wheat bread and grapes for 99 cents a pound - yummalicious. I'm just not really a meat girl, and I'll be happy when the "regular" milk in my fridge runs out and I can get more soy milk. I like the taste better and how it makes me feel, and it doesn't make me think "oo gross" whenever I drink it.

And, completely unrelated except via running into my advisor at the grocery store, I have a crush on Professor of Dense Words. Yesterday after class K and I were sitting chatting and he stuck around and chatted a bit with us. Now of course this is one of those silly little completely innocent crushes, and I find it funny to fall into being a 4th grader again. It could easily be asserted that it's not a crush at all, but an appreciation of the effort and success he has with his teaching methodology of difficult content, but I'm calling it a crush for simplicity's sake. He may leave after December and I'll never get to take another class with him, so I should definitely take advantage of all I can learn from him now.

OK, digging back into work. Sigh.
